After we get you properly equipped, you’ll need somewhere to ride and some friends to ride with!

In addition to our daily attention to the traditional role of a bike shop for our customers, we spend a great deal of time and energy on helping to build our communities, and not only for cyclists. We live and ride where we work, and we want our home to be a great place.

There really isn’t much cash “left-over” from running a bike shop, so we try to leverage our advertising and marketing budgets into cycling events and activities that also serve the greater good.

Our purpose is your ride!

Absolute Bikes is truly and passionately engaged in making every aspect of your ride better!

Our first shop opened in 1989. Founded in Flagstaff by Ken Lane and Shawn Gillis in part as a response to the growth of demand for mountain bikes in Flagstaff, Absolute Bikes has grown to encompass three locations in two states.

We stock a diverse array of bikes, cycling clothing, cycling equipment and bicycle repair and bike fitting services to suit all sorts of cyclists.

Whether it be pedal-less "push-bikes" for toddlers, a full selection of kids bikes, BMX, entry level mountain bikes, comfort and hybrid bicycles, high-end mountain or road bikes, women's specific, freeride/DH (downhill), tandems, cruisers or more, we have a bike, (or bikes), for just about anyone.

We have a great selection of cycling shoes, bike shorts, (both traditional and baggy), cycling jerseys, cycling jackets, tights, caps, winter or summer, you name it, we have an option to keep you riding in comfort and style!

We also offer both mountain bike rental and road bike rental in Flagstaff and Sedona. You can even apply the price of the rental towards the purchase of a new bike.

Most importantly, we have friendly, helpful, knowledgeable people who are ready to assist you in choosing the right cycling equipment, making sure it is properly tuned and installed, and then properly fit to you.

Even after that, we work hard to put on cycling events and work for bicycle access on roads and trails to help assure that we'll all have great places to ride.

Take some time to peruse our web site. Most of what we have to offer is outlined here. Feel free to drop in, call or email us any time. We are here to help all of our fellow cyclists.
